I don’t disagree at all—you’re right, it all depends on who’s steering.
Vibe coding is a non‑programmer iterating prompts to make AI write code; it may work, but often turns into slop.
An AI‑assisted developer knows the craft, the goal, how to ask, and how to verify—just faster.
I trust AI‑assisted developers like you.
The hard part is knowing what the person doing the steering knows or doesn't know, and what was done to vet the code. 🙂
